General Motors Begins Offering ‘Box Delete’ On All Trucks

General Motors has made the move to be the first automaker to offer a ‘box delete’ option, deleting the bed of the truck, on every single truck within the Chevrolet and GMC portfolio, in any truck configuration.

“We are in the business of meeting our customers’ needs by providing a range of products and solutions that fit their businesses,” said Ed Peper, U.S. vice president, General Motors Fleet. “Light-duty box delete is a direct response to our customers who have been clamoring for it.”

The option will be available for both fleet and retail customers, providing a $575 MSRP credit, though, the spare tire assembly may be added back on for $335.

This is good news for Colorado buyers. However, I wish GM would apply the same “We are in the business of meeting our customers needs” approach to the Colorado with the 2.8 Diesel for the Public. Limiting customers choices for the Colorado Diesel to the Crew Cab LT & Z71 trim packages in 2WD or 4WD is a little on the conservative side. I’m sure GM would let a lot more Colorado Diesels if they offered all versions to the public.

It doesn’t make sense to me, “box delete” option, which include box, bumper, and spare tire delete for credit of $575 then you want a spare tire back at $335, your total savings are $240. In reality you don’t want a “box delete” option because you could easily sell that box and bumper for at least a $1000 on craiglist, and certain beds sell for over 2k.
